Back in 2011, he really got the ball rolling with his Laugh at My Pain tour, which grossed $15 million. Since then, Hart has gone on to big-time Hollywood success. Eventually, ABC took note of the young comedian and gave him his own sitcom,The Big House.

The director and comedian received the 2,591st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Monday.

“Hard work pays off… This is just the beginning people. I’m inspired &motivated to do so much more. The last name HART will have a powerful meaning when it’s all said and done!!! The road to making the world laugh continues …Let’s make History this weekend damn it!!!!,” Hart posted on Instagram.

He credits his success largely in part to his team, writing, “You can’t do it by yourself…you need a team that believes in you & in your vision. I have that in my friends/brothers…We are more focused now than we have ever been.”

During one of last season’s episodes of RHOH, Hart joked around with the idea of getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Clearly, this man is turning his jokes into reality. We’re looking forward to continuing to watch this man’s hustle.
